Allie Robino, Cohn & Wolfe, just brought a new blog for Farm Credit to my attention. It’s called Fenceposts.

The Fenceposts blog was created for people to have conversations with Farm Credit loan officers and other experts about buying rural property and living and working in rural America. We know that people considering a move from the city to the country – or simply a weekend getaway – have questions about where to find land for sale, what to consider before making an offer and how to obtain financing. In addition, they may be looking for help with operating needs like seed, feed, fertilizer, livestock and equipment purchases, or just want to know what life will be like in the country. Rural living is a unique and wonderful experience, and the process of financing a place in the country is different from financing a home in an urban area.

Here on the Fenceposts blog, you can read posts by Farm Credit folks and other country living experts who know rural America and the process of financing rural property and agribusiness inside and out. Many of them live or own land in the country and can provide a unique glimpse into local life and culture. We hope you’ll enjoy their posts, but don’t stop there. We invite you to leave a comment and join the conversation!
